Following the movie will be a 45-minute forum, facilitated by Sue Daugherty, Director and Tina Sluga, Health Care Advocate Trainer. They will facilitate a Q & A session with Dr. Hiba Khan, MD, Cleveland Clinic Geriatrician. An emphasis will be placed on addressing questions about memory changes that look like Alzheimer’s disease but are NOT Alzheimer’s disease.
